Beto And Keane To Start | 4-2-3-1 Everton Predicted Lineup Vs Chelsea | OneFootball

Everton will face off against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this Saturday afternoon as they look to earn a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Toffees suffered a 2-0 loss at the hands of Manchester City recently, so they would be eager to bounce back with a good performance this weekend.

David Moyes will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some changes to his first team for this clash. Beto and Michael Keane could get a chance to impress from the start of this game.

4-2-3-1 Everton Predicted Lineup To Face Chelsea

Defence

Jordan Pickford will function in between the sticks for the Toffees after conceding a couple of goals in his last outing. James Tarkowski will operate alongside Michael Keane at the heart of the Everton backline as they look to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.

Jake O’Brien will play as the right-back while Vitaliy Mykolenko hopes to impress on the other side as the left-back. Both of them would have to perform their defensive duties well if Everton are to limit the chances that Chelsea create from the wide areas.

James Tarkowski is a major doubt for this game. However, Seamus Coleman will be available for selection on the bench as he offers cover for the defensive positions.

Midfield

Idrissa Gueye and James Garner will operate as the holding midfielders as they try to make life tough for the home side at the centre of the park.

The talented trio of Iliman Ndiaye, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Jack Harrison will play just ahead of them as part of Moyes’ attack. Both Ndiaye and Harrison need to use their quickness to get in behind the Chelsea backline if they want to offer some decent service for their teammates up top.

Dwight McNeil will have to be content with a spot on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if required.

Attack

Beto will spearhead Everton’s attack up top. He has to find a way to cause some headaches for the Chelsea centre-backs this Saturday afternoon.

Armando Broja will be sidelined for this game as he is ineligible to face his parent club.
